Unifi Network: Provide Datapoints for Power Usage of PoE Devices

Describe the enhancement

It would be great if the integration could provide power usage statistics for PoE devices like AccessPoints.
The needed data is already present but not linked to the end device.
The missing link is the connection between the data within Home Assistant.

Current PoE power on Switch Port: data.devices.<switch>.port_table.[i].poe_power
Attached device on Switch Port: data.devices.<switch>.port_table.[i].last_connection.mac
Switch Port on poe device: data.devices.<poe_device>.uplink.uplink_mac and data.devices.<poe_device>.uplink_remote_port

Bonus points for a "Energy spent" data point via Integration (Riemann sum integral)

Workaround:
You could take the data point of the switch port and attach it to the end device as a data point.
This assumes that the device is never assigned to a new port or replaced by another device.
-> Wrong data and maintenance horror

Use cases

The connection of the Port PoE Power Usage on the Switch to the connected device would allow to add those to the energy dashboard (provided an "Energy spent" data point is provided also).

Anything else?

Unifi also displays the linked data within the Unifi Network application.
