Requiring the newest go compiler causes problems for products that need to be FIPS compliant

[abecher22]

I use this driver in a product that must meet FIPS requirements. In order to be FIPS-compliant, only certain encryption libraries are allowed and the default encryption library in the standard go compiler is not among them. So, our OS vendor builds a version of the go compiler that is FIPS compliant. However, that compiler is always a minor version behind. That means that I cannot use go v1.23.1 but I can use v1.22. When the go.mod contains "go 1.23.1", I am unable to use that version of the driver. My question is: does the go version actually require 1.23.1?
