It seems the gitsm fetcher should be modified to do a recursive update:

http://cgit.openembedded.org/bitbake/tree/lib/bb/fetch2/gitsm.py

replace:

        runfetchcmd(ud.basecmd + " submodule init", d)
        runfetchcmd(ud.basecmd + " submodule update", d)

with

        runfetchcmd(ud.basecmd + " submodule update --init --recursive", d)

Alternatively, you might be able to add a task in your recipe to do
the submodule stuff.
