Many Zigbee clusters provide a Description attribute (0x001C). We should use this, if provided, for the entity name and id. In addition, the multistate cluster provides the State Text attribute (0x000E), as we add entities for this cluster, we should use the provided values for the friendly state.

That would be great. I'm looking for way to distinguish the same clusters for https://github.com/esphome/esphome/pull/7340. In z2m I add description if present to device name.
