[Buildroot] [PATCH] linux: add option to include git submodules

[Yann E. MORIN]

Baruch, All,

On 2024-04-08 12:23 +0300, Baruch Siach via buildroot spake thusly:
> Some kernel users find it useful to store submodules in the kernel
> source tree for cross source trees definitions. Add option to download
> these submodules.

This is a litle odd, and Thomas and I were not very fan of such a patch,
but we can see why it might be needed...

Applied to master, thanks.

Yann E. MORIN.
