Thanks for pointing this out, and sorry for the inconvenience. The
Alpine tree isn't very active and I haven't got patches for quite
some time.

I updated alpine/next to point to v4.16-rc1 to fix the issue. It's not
completely dead, but as it's not active you can also remove the
alpine/for-next tree from linux-next. And when/if I get patches to merge
in the future I'll ask to add it back. As you wish :)

Thank you for making linux-next!
Antoine
