Nouveau - Oct 2025 - [PATCH 5/5] drm/nouveau/drm: Bump the driver version to 1.4.1 to report new features

This is so that NVK can enable compression for kernels that support it and
avoid cases where an older kernel would MMU fault when a newer mesa would
try to use compression.

A slightly more detailed version of this would be great to see in a cover
letter. :)
