Firmware updates would include this change, but a guard isn't necessary. Polling
on run_busy would still work for the current ABI. Since currently mailbox writes
are single packet only, both ready and run_busy update at the same time. But it
would not work for future changes where there will be multi packet writes. In
that case, ready indicates completion of the packet while run_busy indicates
completion of the entire message.
