instead of a dedicated step here, perhaps add --recursive to the clone command above?

That recursively clones all the submodules of the submodules, which aren’t actually needed - we only need the top-level of the submodules, hence the separate steps. I don’t think this is an issue anymore for the submodules in SDK 2.0.0, but in SDK 1.5.1 tinyusb has a bunch of submodules that we don’t want to clone

If you also add --depth 1 it reduces the overall clone size (top level and submodules).
