That is not what clang is complaining about here, you'll see the same
error even if you used '0', '1', or '2' here:

  drivers/iio/magnetometer/yamaha-yas530.c:933:19: error: initializer element is not a compile-time constant
                  .product_name = yas5xx_product_name[0],
                                  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  1 error generated.

It is complaining that the initializer element
('yas5xx_product_name[yas530]', rather than just 'yas530') is not
constant, which is a true complaint if I am reading C11 standard 6.6.7
correctly.

GCC 8+ has chosen to accept const structures as constant expressions in
designated initializers, which it is allowed to do per 6.6.10. Nick did
have a patch to try and match this behavior in clang but the work that
was requested doesn't seem to be trivial so it was never finalized:
https://reviews.llvm.org/D76096

You'll see the same error with GCC 7:

  drivers/iio/magnetometer/yamaha-yas530.c:933:19: error: initializer element is not constant
     .product_name = yas5xx_product_name[yas530],
                     ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  drivers/iio/magnetometer/yamaha-yas530.c:933:19: note: (near initialization for ‘yas5xx_chip_info_tbl[0].product_name’)
  drivers/iio/magnetometer/yamaha-yas530.c:938:19: error: initializer element is not constant
     .product_name = yas5xx_product_name[yas532],
                     ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  drivers/iio/magnetometer/yamaha-yas530.c:938:19: note: (near initialization for ‘yas5xx_chip_info_tbl[1].product_name’)
  drivers/iio/magnetometer/yamaha-yas530.c:943:19: error: initializer element is not constant
     .product_name = yas5xx_product_name[yas533],
                     ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  drivers/iio/magnetometer/yamaha-yas530.c:943:19: note: (near initialization for ‘yas5xx_chip_info_tbl[2].product_name’)
