I was hoping to get
     FT4232H ( USB mini B uart)
     Raspberry Pi Linux raspberrypi 5.10.63-v8+ aarch64 GNU/Linux
     Edit: OS: Debian GNU/Linux, Versiojn=-10 (buster)
working together.

The Linux installation guide suggests if I'm reading it correctly that they expect that Linux will automatically detect and connect FTDI modules.

  page 3:  1.1 "Since the FTDI VCP driver is built into the Linux kernel ... "
       

When I connect the module and type at the terminal
    demsg | grep FTDI

It returns nothing.  In other words, This linux kernel isn't detecting and connecting the FTDI module automatically, and no text in the demsg output contains "FTDI".

I am unsure where to go next with this and was hoping someone might have experience connecting these devices to a Raspberry Pi 4

If I can avoid using the D2xx drivers in favour of built in kernel support (VCP) I'll take the VCP ideally.
