+ * Calculate Maximum Response Code from Maximum Response Delay
+ *
+ * MRC represents the 16-bit encoded form of Maximum Response Delay (MRD);
+ * once decoded, the resulting value is in milliseconds.
+ *
+ * RFC3810, 5.1.3. defines only the decoding formula:
+ *     Maximum Response Delay = (mant | 0x1000) << (exp + 3)
+ *
+ * but does NOT define the encoding procedure. To derive exponent:
+ *
+ * For the 16-bit MRC, the "hidden bit" (0x1000) is left shifted by 12 to
+ * sit above the 12-bit mantissa. The RFC then shifts this entire block
+ * left by (exp + 3) to reconstruct the value. So, 'hidden bit' is the
+ * MSB which is shifted by (12 + exp + 3).
+ *
+ * Total left shift of the hidden bit = 12 + (exp + 3) = exp + 15.
+ * This is the MSB at the 0-based bit position: (exp + 15).
+ * Since fls() is 1-based, fls(value) - 1 = exp + 15.
+ *
+ * Therefore:
+ *     exp  = fls(value) - 16
+ *     mant = (value >> (exp + 3)) & 0x0FFF
+ *
+ * Final encoding formula:
+ *     0x8000 | (exp << 12) | mant
+ *
+ * Example (value = 1311744):
+ *  0               1               2               3
