Yes, that's not the right thing to do. You're supposed to either
install openocd properly (via package manager or with "sudo make
install") and then openocd would know the root of the configuration
scripts tree and use that automatically. So no explicit patch or
symlinks or anything else necessary.

No, you shouldn't be using any external config files.

By f3 disco I meant "STM32F3 Discovery Board". Upstream configs are
the scripts that present in OpenOCD source code and that are installed
along with OpenOCD.

If you describe in detail what hardware you have and how it is
connected, I'll be able to tell you what scripts to source.
