Hi, thank you for taking a look at the patch!

This patch can be verified to be working with this app (which was the
motivation for submitting this):
https://github.com/codyd51/uefirc/releases/tag/1.0.1.

I am happy to switch to a tablet device if that's a clearer choice (pending
environment setup/line ending issues on my end while generating the patch).

I am also happy to add this to other Omvf variants, but am less confident in
my ability to test those.

All the best,
Phillip
