adafruit-circuitpython-motorkit to support Raspberry PI5 #48

This library with example code works perfectly fine on RPi4 however when i run it on RPi5 with latest Bookworm-32 or 64 regardless I am getting issues while using Adafruit DC & Stepper Motor HAT. Issue: Cannot determine SOC peripheral base address

After some research I found that RPi.GPIO, wiringPI, and pigpio do not work on the Pi5 which has new hardware for the GPIO.

Link to rpi forum with discussion on this issue: https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopi ... 8#p2160578

After following instructions:

sudo apt remove python3-rpi.gpio
pip3 install rpi-lgpio

Different error appearead: File "/home/slav/Projects/MarsRover/rover/lib/python3.11/site-packages/adafruit_motor/motor.py", line 63, in DCMotor def init(self, positive_pwm: PWMOut, negative_pwm: PWMOut) -> None: ^^^^^^ NameError: name 'PWMOut' is not defined

I think that the Adafruit CircuitPython Motorkit library needs modifications to work with a Pi5.|

I think fixing https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Blinka/issues/776 should resolve this issue.

PWM support now added for the Pi 5. Please try again with the latest version of Blinka.

Tested with hardware and verified it now works.

Thank you, Melissa, for working on this. I am excited to give it a try as well.
