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.

LP5030/6: 10 or 12 RGB channels
###############################

Overview
********

This sample controls up to 12 LEDs connected to a LP503x driver.

First, for each LED information is retrieved using the led_get_info syscall
and printed in the log messages. Next, from an infinite loop, a test pattern
(described below) is applied to all the LEDs simultaneously (using the
led_write_channels syscall) and then to each LED one by one (using the
led_set_{brightness,color} syscalls).

Test pattern
============

For all the LEDs first (using channel API) and then for each LED one by one:

For each color in red green blue white yellow purple cyan orange:

- set the color
- turn on
- turn off
- set the brightness gradually to the maximum level
- turn off

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

This sample can be built and executed on boards with an I2C LP5030/6 LED driver
connected. A node matching the "ti,lp503x" binding should be defined in the
board DTS files.

As an example this sample provides a DTS overlay for the :ref:`lpcxpresso11u68`
board (:file:`boards/lpcxpresso11u68.overlay`). It assumes that a I2C LP5030
LED driver (with 10 LEDs wired) is connected to the I2C0 bus at address 0x30.
