Linux Kernel • Show splash

I am using secureboot -> uboot -> linux kernel via buildroot
I'd like to show a splash screen during the rsa decryption period, and/or u-boot.
I could draw to fb with a ramdisk script I know, but at that stage, X is ~1 second away from starting anyway.

Is it possible to load a splash during secureboot stage or via u-boot?
It seems the fb in fdt is not mapped to video memory, at least not when VC4 kms is enabled in config.txt (requirement)

Any suggestions or ideas?

Thank you
