Unable to set pin mode on pi5

[IamRewt]

Describe the bug

After updating to version 3.1.0, I am unable to read or set modes on gpio pins on the raspberry pi 5. The library works properly when reverting to 3.0.0.
 
Error Message: Unhandled exception. System.IO.IOException: Error setting pin mode, for pin: 4, error: 16.
Steps to reproduce

 var gpio = new GpioController();
 gpio.OpenPin(4);
 gpio.SetPinMode(4, PinMode.Input); <-- Throws error.
 Console.WriteLine(gpio.Read(4));

Expected behavior

The pin should set and be readable.

Actual behavior

The pin does not get set and the error message is thrown.

That's kind of expected, since we do not have full support for the pi 5 yet. You need to manually select the driver (either libgpiod or sysfs)

There may have been a regression, related to the pi 5, with version 3.1.0 as the gpio seems to function normally in 3.0.0. The above code runs without error and properly reads the pins. I haven't tested all of the gpio pins but have tried several of them without issue.

Given the 5 is still fairly new, I can go back to testing with a 4 for now.

[pgrawehr]

We have added partial support for the Pi5 in 3.1.0 (IIRC), but you should get it to work by calling

var gpioController = new GpioController(new LibgpiodDriver(4));
