Description

**Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like**

Add a note like this to the deep sleep component page:
some devices, e.g. D1 mini, need GPIO7 pulled high for deep sleep to function currently. This post:
[[GeoX234](https://github.com/GeoX234) commented [on Mar 27](https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/issues/6007#issuecomment-2024041618)] suggests connecting GPIO7/SD0/MISO via 10k resistor to 3.3v as a fix. This worked for me.

**Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:**

The device won't wake up from deep sleep, though there is a dim flash of the blue activity LED at the time it should wake up. soldering the 10k resistor causes wake up to run correctly.

Research direction

Open the ESPHome deep sleep component documentation page and review the referenced ESP8266 deep-sleep discussion. Add a concise note covering the affected devices, GPIO7/SD0/MISO, the 10k resistor connection to 3.3V, and the reported wake-up result; the page should clearly warn users about this hardware requirement.
