Adds two troubleshooting entries to the README Q&A, from a first-gen XDNA1 (Phoenix) Linux bring-up:

  1. ERT_CMD_STATE_ABORT / mailbox timeout right after load — a stale npu.sbin from a prior/distro install not matching the loaded amdxdna.ko. Documents that the plugin ships the matching firmware and that mixing sources is the common cause.
  2. Telemetry/array ioctls return "Operation not supported" / EINVAL while basic exec works — a distro in-tree amdxdna predating ioctls the current XRT SHIM issues; points to the repo's staging amdxdna.ko. (Related: Mainline amdxdna (kernel ≤6.17) missing GET_ARRAY / AIE2 telemetry ioctls the current XRT SHIM expects #1447.)

Both are real bring-up papercuts where the error message doesn't surface the version-mismatch cause. Docs-only; fits the existing Q&A format.
