If there is none, in your BSP create a subfolder patches, and in that a 
subfolder '$yourpackage-1.2.3', use the same folder name as your package has 
in your folder 'platform-$yourplatform/build-target'. Put the patches and a 
series file inside. All that before you call `ptxdist --git extract 
$yourpackage`.

All that is described in the documentation section 4.2 "Creating Patches for a 
Package": https://www.ptxdist.org/doc/dev_manual.html#using-git

If you need special patch numbering and tags in the series file, have a look 
at the patches distributed with ptxdist and search the mailinglist archive. 
IIRC Michael explained how to do that in the past.
