There is a new firmware[3] version 22.24.8.0 upgrade for 7260 /3160 (Wilkins Peak) devices.
Wireless 7260 3.13+ kernel -> iwlwifi-7260-ucode-22.24.8.0.tgz
Wireless 3160 3.13+ kernel -> iwlwifi-3160-ucode-22.24.8.0.tgz

This new firmware is based on LinuxCore4 stream and is supported starting
kernel 3.13. It replaces the previously released FW(based on LinuxCore3).

Quote from the release note:

"This firmware is supported starting 3.13 kernel.
We have a here quite a few bug fixes with a few new features.
Most of the improvements concern P2P client and GO modes.

The firmware for 7260 is available at (1) and for 3160 at (2).
I will send a pull request to linux-firmware.git soon.

The new firmware's version number is 22.24.8.0:

$ dmesg | grep loaded\ firmware
loaded firmware version 22.24.8.0 op_mode iwlmvm

  devices(Wilkins Peak) at http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlwifi

  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."
