For what it's worth, I do see this warning with Clang when both
CONFIG_IWLDVM and CONFIG_IWLMVM are disabled and looking through the GCC
warning docs [1], I do not see a -Wconstant-conversion option? Maybe
there is another warning that is similar but that warning right there
appears to have come from clang, as it matches mine exactly.

drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/pcie/drv.c:1344:42: error: implicit conversion from 'unsigned long' to 'int' changes value from 18446744073709551615 to -1 [-Werror,-Wconstant-conversion]
        for (i = ARRAY_SIZE(iwl_dev_info_table) - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
               ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~
1 error generated.

Regardless of above, this resolves the warning for clang.
