vivid is already bumped to version 9~10 in driver:

/* Highest firmware API version supported */
#define IWL7260_UCODE_API_MAX   10
#define IWL3160_UCODE_API_MAX   10

/* Oldest version we won't warn about */
#define IWL7260_UCODE_API_OK    9
#define IWL3160_UCODE_API_OK    9

/* Lowest firmware API version supported */
#define IWL7260_UCODE_API_MIN   8
#define IWL3160_UCODE_API_MIN   8

I can't see the status of linux-firmware, because there is no vivid
branch yet. I reckon vivid will grab the latest linux-firmware git repo
to build the package, then it's the same latest firmware I'm requesting.

About the affected machines, they are ThinkPad next gen X/T/W [245]50
models, please check this OEM private bug for details:
