Bug description:
  2 new firmware versions are now available and need to update for 7260 / 3160
  devices(Wilkins Peak) at http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlwifi 

  [1]
  Wireless 7260 3.10+ kernel -> iwlwifi-7260-ucode-22.1.7.0.tgz
  Wireless 3160 3.10+ kernel -> iwlwifi-3160-ucode-22.1.7.0.tgz

  commit 824994715e0276e64cdbf2badbe02921a78fb287 
  iwlwifi: update firmware for 7260 / 3160 devices

  [2]
  Wireless 7260 3.13+ kernel -> iwlwifi-7260-ucode-22.15.8.0.tgz
  Wireless 3160 3.13+ kernel -> iwlwifi-3160-ucode-22.15.8.0.tgz

  Quote from Emmanuel: "OSVs can safely have both firmware files installed
  regardless of the kernel version. Kernel 3.10 won’t load 22.15.8.0 but 22.1.7.0
  only. Kernel 3.13 will try to load 22.15.8.0 and if it is not there, it will
  try to load 22.1.7.0. So nothing bad will happen if OSVs have both firmware
  installed. Just a bit of a waste - but nothing worse than that."
