Yes, we try include the headers we use in the .c file. I used "if needed" 
because I didn't check if it was already among the #includes in the file.

Our tools are lacking to enforce/check a file has correct set of #includes 
so it's currently based mostly on reviewers noticing something is wrong 
with #includes, hopefully some time in the future, the tools also catch 
up.
