Fixing these "implicit conversion" warnings, especially for
unsigned types, is a slippery slope. (The behavior of the
conversion is well-defined.)

How about changing the type of PCI_ROM_ADDRESS_MASK instead?
It's defined as ~0x7ffUL but it's only used in the context
of u32.

So make it an unsigned int:
#define PCI_ROM_ADDRESS_MASK (~0x7ffU)

AFAIU, unsigned int is 32 bits on all platforms supported
by Linux.
