Dear Ihor,
thank's for your advice! Here is the updated patch. Now it works.
......................................................................
ox-latex: New option to customize LaTeX footnote command
Some LaTeX classes define their own footnote commands. For example,
kaobook
(https://github.com/fmarotta/kaobook/blob/master/example_and_documentation.pdf)
has \footnotes and \sidenotes, whereby sidenotes (notes are put into the
outter margin) are the dominant form of putting notes in kaobook. It
would be great if you could make the footnote command in the footnote
function customizable. My proposal is in the attachment.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ox-latex: New option to customize LaTeX footnote command
* lisp/ox-latex.el (org-export-define-backend): Add option.
(org-latex-default-footnote-command): New custom variable.
(org-latex-footnote-reference): Replace string "\\footnote{%s%s}"
with custom variable.
* etc/ORG-NEWS (New and changed options): Add description to option.
Some LaTeX classes define their own footnote commands. For example,
kaobook (https://github.com/fmarotta/kaobook/blob/master/example_and_documentation.pdf)
has \footnotes and \sidenotes, whereby sidenotes (notes are put into
the outter margin) are the dominant form of putting notes in
kaobook. It would be great if you could make the footnote command in
the footnote function customizable. My proposal is in the attachment.

PS: I have a hard time to setup an environment to test the patch because
my Spacemacs configuration conflicts with the Org mode development
version. Can anyone provide me a link to a ressource that describes the
procedure?
