Patrick, All,

Bug.

It's a known bug, where extra downloads are not downloaded when the main
download is something that is not a tarball.

And for atmel_sama5d27_som1_ek_mmc_dev_defconfig, the kernel is from a
git tree, so is not downloaded with wget, so the extra dowenloads are
not downloaded.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
