ESPHome not supporting Volume Flow device classes yet its supported by Home Assistant

The problem

Home Assistant now supports Volume flow rate (litres per minutre), rather than volume (litres) I have a water flow meter that has been erroring for the last 12 months due to an unsupported device class for volume flow HA now supports this device class (https://github.com/home-assistant/architecture/discussions/915) , but ESPhome marks my yaml as invalid when entered there

SensorDeviceClass.VOLUME_FLOW_RATE | m³/h, ft³/min, L/min, gal/min | Volume flow rate, this device class should be used for sensors representing a flow of some volume, for example the amount of water consumed momentarily.

Can w eget this added to ESPhome so it does not error

Example YAML snippet

Anything in the logs that might be useful for us?

  Unknown value 'volume_flow_rate', did you mean 'volume_storage'?.
