Since ~July 2016 you can enable downloading of Submodules for a package.

This can be achieved with

LIBFOO_GIT_SUBMODULES = YES

in the .mk File.

This is not supported today. In general, the submodules are used to fetch external libraries, and prefer to see them packaged as separate Buildroot packages.

That being said, if you provided a specific example, I could probably have a look and give a more specific answer.
