I mean it is not used in the same way as other sensors that have two files.
I.e. bmp180 has bmp180.c and bmp180_uorb.c Using the bmp180.c the application can read data from it using the read() function. Using mcp9600_uorb.c on the other hand (since we don't have mcp9600.c anymore), even if the user is not using the uORB app, it needs to follow other approach, i.e. using ioctls for it.
