The cause for that is quite likely that gc->get_direction() will read
the configuration from gpio<i>'s registers and gpio4 in your system is
reserved for use by some trusted application.

When you change the TLMM address you avoid this problem by just reading
random registers outside the region that contains protected registers.


Adjust the gpio-reserved-ranges in your device's tlmm node to mark gpio4
(probably 4 pins long) as "invalid", gpiolib will then not touch them.
