wifi: iwlwifi: Fix firmware version handling

On my system the arithmetic done on the firmware numbers
results in a negative number, but since the types are
unsigned it gets interpreted as a large positive number.

The end result is that the firmware gets rejected and wifi
is defunct.

Switch to signed types to handle this case correctly.
