I do not understand why "we" as a project do not got the RPi Foundation documented way?

Of course. I have one more CM3+ that is not part of my TuringPi cluster that I can
use for that. Can't promise tomorrow, but sometime this week.

Could you send me your patch in an archived binary format in direct email, please?
I manually applied the changes, because my MUA or whatever intermediate system
converted tabs to spaces and the patch did not apply automatically. Possibly I made some mistake.

Kind regards,
Patrick
