Plymouth shows the splash screen very late in the boot process

[rania-taabouri]

Plymouth works fine on my imx8x. But I can see it starts very late in the boot process. When kernel starts, the screen is blank for around 5,6 seconds, then splash screen shows up in the screen for only 1 second and the boot process finishes. I am using the plymouth-wait-for-animation.service to have a sleep for 10 seconds to see the splash screen for some time. But I think that is not the intention of a splash screen. I would like to see the splash during the entire boot process. Now I have nothing in the first 5,6 seconds and only 1,2 seconds left in the boot process and unnecessary 10 second delay only to see the splash screen. How can we start plymouth earlier than this and make this feature useful for what it is to be?
