docs: Stipulate register 13 must be written last when writing a response Writes to register 13 (Response Code) are what is used to generate an interrupt to the host. On receiving this interrupt the host can start processing the entire response message. Thus to ensure that the host is processing the correct mbox response register 13 must be the last to be written. Stipulate in the protocol documentation that the last register to be written by the BMC when writing a response must be the response code into register 13.
