This last line indicates that it loaded the -13 firmware. The driver
supports a range of firmware versions. It starts trying to load the
newest and works its way back, that's why you see all the failed load
attempts.

Does the device work properly after this?

Can you provide dmesg for 4.2 and the pci ids for the device?

Title:
  add new iwlwifi firmware for 7265D

Status in linux-firmware package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  My Intel SDP has a version of the hw that needs at least "iwlwifi-
  7265D-17.ucode", though I'm not sure where to get that, since upstream
  repo doesn't have it.
