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.

Fade LED
########

Overview
********

This application "fades" a LED using the :ref:`PWM API <pwm_api>`.

The LED starts off increases its brightness until it is fully or nearly fully
on. The brightness then decreases until the LED is off, completing on fade
cycle. Each cycle takes 2.5 seconds, and the cycles repeat forever. The PWM
period is taken from Devicetree. It should be fast enough to be above the
flicker fusion threshold.

Requirements and Wiring
***********************

This sample has the same requirements and wiring considerations as the
:ref:`pwm-blinky-sample`.

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

To build and flash this sample for the :ref:`nrf52840dk_nrf52840`:

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/basic/fade_led
   :board: nrf52840dk_nrf52840
   :goals: build flash
   :compact:

Change ``nrf52840dk_nrf52840`` appropriately for other supported boards.

After flashing, the sample starts fading the LED as described above. It also
prints information to the board's console.
