[ Impact ]

 * Main reason for this SRU request is Versal platform enablement,
libdfx 2024.2 enables new Versal platform from AMD

[ Test Plan ]

 * test Kria (KV260) platform to make sure new version of libdfx doesnt break things.
  - use xmutil or dfx-mgr-client tool to unload and load default bitstream, default bitstream should be loaded successfully and fancontrol should work as expected.

 * test Versal (VEK280) platform to make sure we can load a bitstream.
Download the example bitstream from xilinx and load it using dfx-mgr
(2024.2) (which uses libdfx in the backend). It should load the
bitstream without error and it should be listed as loaded in the output
of `dfx-mgr-clined -listPackage` command.

[ Where problems could occur ]

 * New version of libdfx doesnt come with breaking changes in API/ABI so
the risk is not big.

 * In case of any issue on new version of libdfx, it will only affect
FPGA bitstream usecases

 * It only has reverse dependency to dfx-mgr in ubuntu-archive
