This directory can contain additional west manifest files. Any files in this directory will be included in the main west.yml file sorted by filename. For more details about how this works, see this part of the west documentation: https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/guides/west/manifest.html#example-2-2-downstream-with-directory-of-manifest-files Note: do not delete this file if there is no other content in submanifests directory. Submanifests directory must exist for west update command to work (even if does not contain any actual manifests). This is a known bug, see: https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/west/issues/594
