Gerard Marull-Paretas 79e6b0e0f6 includes: prefer <zephyr/kernel.h> over <zephyr/zephyr.h>
As of today <zephyr/zephyr.h> is 100% equivalent to <zephyr/kernel.h>.
This patch proposes to then include <zephyr/kernel.h> instead of
<zephyr/zephyr.h> since it is more clear that you are including the
Kernel APIs and (probably) nothing else. <zephyr/zephyr.h> sounds like a
catch-all header that may be confusing. Most applications need to
include a bunch of other things to compile, e.g. driver headers or
subsystem headers like BT, logging, etc.

The idea of a catch-all header in Zephyr is probably not feasible
anyway. Reason is that Zephyr is not a library, like it could be for
example `libpython`. Zephyr provides many utilities nowadays: a kernel,
drivers, subsystems, etc and things will likely grow. A catch-all header
would be massive, difficult to keep up-to-date. It is also likely that
an application will only build a small subset. Note that subsystem-level
headers may use a catch-all approach to make things easier, though.

NOTE: This patch is **NOT** removing the header, just removing its usage
in-tree. I'd advocate for its deprecation (add a #warning on it), but I
understand many people will have concerns.

Grove LCD
#########

Overview
********

This sample displays an incrementing counter through the Grove LCD, with
changing backlight.

Requirements
************

To use this sample, the following hardware is required:

* A board with ADC support
* `Grove LCD module`_
* `Grove Base Shield`_ [Optional]

Wiring
******

You will need to connect the Grove LCD via the Grove shield onto a board that
supports Arduino shields.

On some boards you will need to use 2 pull-up resistors (10k Ohm) between the
SCL/SDA lines and 3.3V.

Take note that even though SDA and SCL are connected to a 3.3V power source, the
Grove LCD VDD line needs to be connected to the 5V power line, otherwise
characters will not be displayed on the LCD (3.3V is enough to power just the
backlight).


Building and Running
********************

This sample should work on any board that has I2C enabled and has an Arduino
shield interface. For example, it can be run on the FRDM K64F board as
described below:
