How important are those drivers?
We do actually support git submodules nowadays, but it has to be
explicitly enabled per package. I'm not sure we really want to
unconditionally enable it for the linux package so we would need to add
a Config.in option to enable it.
A nicer method might be to handle these drivers through our
linux-extensions support. Take a look at linux/linux-ext-fbtft.mk and
package/fbtft for an example of this.
