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.

EEPROM Sample
#############

Overview
********

This sample demonstrates the EEPROM driver API in a simple boot counter
application.

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

In case the target board has defined an EEPROM with alias ``eeprom-0`` the
sample can be built without further ado. This applies for example to the
:ref:`native_posix` board:

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/drivers/eeprom
   :host-os: unix
   :board: native_posix
   :goals: run
   :compact:

Otherwise either a board specific overlay needs to be defined, or a shield must
be activated. Any board with Arduino headers can for example build the sample
as follows:

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/drivers/eeprom
   :board: nrf52840dk_nrf52840
   :goals: build
   :shield: x_nucleo_eeprma2
   :compact:

For :ref:`gd32f450i_eval` board. First bridge the JP5 to USART with the jumper cap,
Then the sample can be built and executed for the  as follows:

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/drivers/eeprom
   :board: gd32f450i_eval
   :goals: build flash
   :compact:

Sample Output
=============

.. code-block:: console

    Found EEPROM device "EEPROM_M24C02"
    Using eeprom with size of: 256.
    Device booted 7 times.
    Reset the MCU to see the increasing boot counter.
