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.

MAX17262 Fuel Gauge Sensor
###################################

Overview
********

This sample application periodically reads voltage, current and temperature
data from the MAX17262 device that implements SENSOR_CHAN_GAUGE_VOLTAGE,
SENSOR_CHAN_GAUGE_AVG_CURRENT, and SENSOR_CHAN_GAUGE_TEMP.

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

The MAX17262 is an ultra-low power fuel-gauge IC which implements the Maxim
ModelGauge m5 algorithm. The IC monitors a single-cell battery pack and
supports internal current sensing for up to 3.1A pulse current. The IC
provides best performance for batteries with 100mAhr to 6Ahr capacity.

This sample requires a board which provides a configuration for Arduino
connectors and defines node aliases for the I2C interface.
For more info about the node structure see
:zephyr_file:`samples/sensor/max17262/app.overlay`

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

This sample application uses an MAX17262 sensor connected to a board via I2C.
Connect the sensor pins according to the connection diagram given in the
`max17262 datasheet`_.

Sample Output
=============
To check output of this sample , any serial console program can be used.
This example uses ``picocom`` on the serial port ``/dev/ttyUSB0``:

.. code-block:: console

        $ sudo picocom -D /dev/ttyUSB0

.. code-block:: console

        V: 3.626406 V; I: -3.437500 mA; T: 28.011718 °C
        V: 3.626406 V; I: -3.437500 mA; T: 28.011718 °C
        V: 3.626406 V; I: -3.437500 mA; T: 28.011718 °C
