can confirm this bug.

removing 8000-C ucode 22 firmware stub works. before removing, you
will get errors 99% of the time upon driver load similar to below:

"pcie/rx.c iwl_pcie_alloc_ict"

"iwlwifi: probe of" "failed with error -22"

in rx.c in function iwl_pcie_alloc_ict around line ~1700 (1747?)

could be a memory alignment issue with zalloc upon loading the newer
(broken) firmware for the 8260 (rev3a)?

just some thoughts

again, to reiterate the temporary workaround, just:

$ sudo rm /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-8000C-22.ucode

and then ensure this gets fixed upstream in iwlwifi-8000C-22.ucode
before installing any firmware-iwlwifi updates or hold the package:

$ sudo apt-mark hold firmware-iwlwifi

remove the hold if / when it gets fixed in debian later:

$ sudo apt-mark unhold firmware-iwlwifi
