Describe the issue

home-assistant/core#133518

If a device is unknown (no device config available yet), but the manufacturer is a known one, HA is unable to at least provide the friendly manufacturer name (as it's derived from the config) and shows "unknown" instead. While the numerical ID is provided and could be used, it would required either HA build it's own mfg database or query it from the driver. Preferably, a string version could be provided at the node level (or wherever) that HA could use as a fallback.
