No splash for systemd

[javiercarrascocruz]

This layer works fine with my RaspberryPi Zero 2 w as long as SysVinit is used (default init system for Yocto), but it does not if systemd is selected. In that case, running "psplash" during normal operation displays the splash image with the empty progress bar, so the functionality is still there but it is not triggered properly at boot.
This can be easily reproduced by simply adding and removing INIT_MANAGER = "systemd" from local.conf.

Hi @javiercarrascocruz, I have made a career change and I no longer work with Yocto. This makes it difficult for me to continue to maintain this repo as I am no longer around the hardwares. If you find a solution for this please make a pull request so that others can benefit also.
Thank you for your support.

To solve the systemd issue, Append this code to the end of psplash_%.bbappend

# Prevent meta-raspberrypi's framebuffer condition from blocking psplash (This caused by systemd)
do_install:append() {
    # Create an override to mask the framebuf.conf drop-in
    install -d ${D}${sysconfdir}/systemd/system/psplash-start.service.d
    ln -sf /dev/null ${D}${sysconfdir}/systemd/system/psplash-start.service.d/framebuf.conf
}

FILES:${PN} += "${sysconfdir}/systemd/system/psplash-start.service.d/framebuf.conf"
