Pull request overview
Updates the device documentation for the Mirabella Genio Wi‑Fi 1.4m Pixel LED Corner Light by revising reflashing guidance and expanding the GPIO/configuration details.
Changes:
- Revised the reflashing/platform limitations note for the RTL8710BX (LibreTiny).
- Added GPIO-based button mappings, an ADC microphone sensor example, and an addressable light example to the configuration section.

Typo in the reflashing note: "prossible" should be "possible".

The reflashing note says FastLED/NeoPixelBus LED drivers are unsupported on this platform and it’s not possible to drive the LEDs, but the page still includes a “Basic Configuration” that defines a light: entity and button actions that toggle it. Please reconcile this (either provide a configuration that is expected to compile/work on RTL8710BX, or remove/clearly label the non-working example so readers don’t follow it expecting LED control).

This “Basic Configuration” block includes full entities (binary_sensor, switch, sensor, light). Repository guidelines require the first configuration on device pages to be hardware definitions + core ESPHome components only; please move the entity examples into a second configuration block and keep the first one minimal.

The notes above state FastLED is unsupported on this platform, but the example uses platform: fastled_clockless. If this platform can’t build/run FastLED-based addressable lights, the example will be misleading (and potentially non-compilable). Consider removing this light: section or swapping to a supported approach for RTL87xx (or explicitly marking it as not working).

The GPIO table lists the LED data pin as PA23? (uncertain), but the configuration hard-codes pin: PA23. Please either confirm the pin and remove the uncertainty in the documentation, or annotate the config to reflect that the pin assignment is unverified.

Updated reflashing information and added GPIO configuration details for the Mirabella Genio Wi-Fi 1.4m Pixel LED Corner Light.
Brief description of the changes
I spent a couple days trying to get this light to work, and I'd at least like to share with the community the result I've achieved. All the GPIOs are there, but the led drivers can't drive the strip so for now there's no point flashing esphome to this device.
