Unfortunately, it looks like there is no easy fix for this, as the BCM 2835 library hasn't been (and may not ever be) updated to support the Pi 5

In which case, some options are
a) The current version of mpd_oled won't be updated to support the Pi 5 (I don't like this option)
b) I could add some custom SPI functions that use the linux SPI devices.
c) I could tidy up the development "proof of concept" version ( https://github.com/antiprism/mpd_oled_dev ), which only uses linux devices for communication.
