Description
Hi,
I was using the plasma library to light up my picade plasma arcade button. It works fine with the RPi 4. However, it does not work anymore when I switch to RPi 5, it says "No SOC Peripheral address". I believe it could be due to the RPi.GPIO library being used in the plasma library. How can I solve this issue?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure on an RPi 5 and inspect how the plasma library uses RPi.GPIO to locate the source of the "No SOC Peripheral address" error. Done means the plasma library works with the Picade plasma arcade button on both RPi 4 and RPi 5.
