iMX8M using systemd but swupdate-image needing sysvinit

Hi,

Were in the development stage of a new product based on the iMX8M and have ran into an issue regarding swupdate and the type of initialisation manager. Our build requires systemd and there's no changing that, however swupdate requires sysvinit for it's smaller footprint rescue system; is there any way around this as it seems to be a common problem? Swupdate itself builds and the Mongoose web interface runs; it's generating the swupdate-image which is the issue i.e. bitbake swupdate-image.

Yocto build: 5.15.5 Honister

Thanks!
