Description
**Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like**
Add support for SK6812 White chip and WWA as seen at the bottom on their [product listing](https://www.btf-lighting.com/pages/led-chips-contrast)
**Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:**
A solution could possible be having two new variants `SK6812_WHITE` and `SK6812_WWA` for these chips.
```yaml
light:
- platform: neopixelbus
name: "NeoPixel Light"
pin: GPIO23
num_leds: 60
variant: SK6812_WHITE or SK6812_WWA
```
**Additional context**
Limited testing shows that both chips are reacting to data from this configuration.
```yaml
light:
- platform: neopixelbus
name: "NeoPixel Light"
pin: GPIO23
num_leds: 60
