mlxbf_gige: update driver version to 1.25

[David Thompson]

SRU Justification:

[Impact]
* The mlxbf_gige driver needs a version increase to identify
  a driver containing recent important bug fixes.

[Fix]
* The driver version implemented by the DRV_VERSION define and
  MODULE_VERSION macro will be incremented from 1.24 to 1.25

[Test Case]
* To test this fix, need to check the driver version shown in
  the output of "modinfo mlxbf_gige" command.

[Regression Potential]
* There is low risk of this fix causing any problems.

[Other]
* The mlxbf_gige driver will display v1.25 in modinfo after these changes.

This bug is awaiting verification that the linux-bluefield/5.4.0-1020.23 kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-focal' to 'verification-done-focal'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-focal' to 'verification-failed-focal'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

Hi Meriton, the fix is currently in linux-bluefield/5.4.0-1020.23 which is in proposed. As long as test reviews continue to go well, this will be scheduled to release next week.

Schedule can be found here: https://kernel.ubuntu.com/

If you are able to complete the verification mentioned in comment #2, it would be very helpful. :)
