es-wifi: why not creating a submodule ?

[joelguittet]

Hello,

The es-wifi driver is used twice here for the B-L475E-IOT01A and B-L4S5I-IOT01A and additionally in the X-CUBE-GNSS package at https://github.com/STMicroelectronics/x-cube-gnss1.

While it's not really a big library and so not a big issue, the most important is that they are all different!!! I created a PR on this repository to fix an UDP issue (see #92) but the X-CUBE-GNSS package as a similar one too.

Why not creating submodules when you have this kind of libraries ? Here for the es-wifi driver this is a perfect example where maintenance of this stuff will be greatly simplified.

Hi @joelguittet,

Thank you for this proposal. Actually, replacing BSP drivers by submodules is already in the pipe. However, the es-wifi looks to be a particular case as it is not located under ./Drivers/BSP/Components.

I have first to check with our development teams. I will get back to you once I have their feedback.

With regards,
