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.

Bluetooth: Direction Finding Peripheral
#######################################

Overview
********

A simple application demonstrating the BLE Direction Finding CTE transmission in
connected mode by response to a request received from connected peer device.

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

* Nordic nRF SoC based board with Direction Finding support (example boards:
  :ref:`nrf52833dk_nrf52833`, :ref:`nrf52833dk_nrf52820`, :ref:`nrf5340dk_nrf5340`)
* Antenna matrix for AoA (optional)

Check your SoC's product specification for Direction Finding support if you are
unsure.

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

By default the application supports Angle of Arrival and Angle of Departure mode.

To use Angle of Arrival mode only, build this application as follows,
changing ``nrf52833dk_nrf52833`` as needed for your board:

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/bluetooth/direction_finding_peripheral
   :host-os: unix
   :board: nrf52833dk_nrf52833
   :gen-args: -DOVERLAY_CONFIG=overlay-aoa.conf
   :goals: build flash
   :compact:

To run the application on nRF5340DK, a Bluetooth controller application must
also run on the network core. The :ref:`bluetooth-hci-rpmsg-sample` sample
application may be used. To build this sample with direction finding support
enabled:

* Copy
  :zephyr_file:`samples/bluetooth/direction_finding_peripheral/boards/nrf52833dk_nrf52833.overlay`
  to a new file,
  :file:`samples/bluetooth/hci_rpmsg/boards/nrf5340dk_nrf5340_cpunet.overlay`.
* Make sure the same GPIO pins are assigned to Direction Finding Extension in file
  :zephyr_file:`samples/bluetooth/direction_finding_peripheral/boards/nrf5340dk_nrf5340_cpuapp.overlay`.
  as those in the created file :file:`samples/bluetooth/hci_rpmsg/boards/nrf5340dk_nrf5340_cpunet.overlay`.
* Copy
  :zephyr_file:`samples/bluetooth/direction_finding_peripheral/boards/nrf52833dk_nrf52833.conf`
  to a new file,
  :file:`samples/bluetooth/hci_rpmsg/boards/nrf5340dk_nrf5340_cpunet.conf`.

Antenna matrix configuration
****************************

To use this sample with Angle of Departure enabled on Nordic SoCs, additional
configuration must be provided via :ref:`devicetree <dt-guide>` to enable
control of the antenna array.

An example devicetree overlay is in
:zephyr_file:`samples/bluetooth/direction_finding_peripheral/boards/nrf52833dk_nrf52833.overlay`.
You can customize this overlay when building for the same board, or create your
own board-specific overlay in the same directory for a different board. See
:dtcompatible:`nordic,nrf-radio` for documentation on the properties used in
this overlay. See :ref:`set-devicetree-overlays` for information on setting up
and using overlays.

Note that antenna matrix configuration for the nRF5340 SoC is part of the
network core application. When :ref:`bluetooth-hci-rpmsg-sample` is used as the
network core application, the antenna matrix configuration should be stored in
the file
:file:`samples/bluetooth/hci_rpmsg/boards/nrf5340dk_nrf5340_cpunet.overlay`
instead.
