Public bug reported:

The DRM renderer currently creates a separate head for every active display
controller. A tiled monitor exposes several controllers for segments of the
same physical panel, so Plymouth lays out the splash independently on each
segment.

On displays such as the Dell UP3218K, that behavior produces two logos and two
progress indicators across one 7680x4320 monitor. DRM already provides the
group, grid position, and tile dimensions needed to identify the physical
layout.

This has been fixed upstream here:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/plymouth/plymouth/-/commit/a2ef9b02a1aa1a43c9234097af60097ae5bf6498

This should be brought into Ubuntu to increase tiled display
compatibility
