I'm not sure I get the relevance of this kind of warnings from Clang.
Had it been an output operand I could understand the concern of having a
variable too small to store the register value. But here it's an input
operand being place in a wider register...

Clang's suggestion would not work as MSR instructions do not operate on
32-bit general purpose registers. Seeing that PMR is a 32-bit register,
I'd avoid adding UL for the GIC_PRIO_IRQ* constants.

So I'd recommend just casting the the asm inline operands to unsigned
long. This should only affect the 3 locations
arch/arm64/include/asm/irqflags.h.

Does the following patch work for you?
