Describe the issue you are experiencing

There's an issue with Home Assistant's frontend not syncing entity icons on the entities tab. You can go through an re-icon most entities in the entities tab itself (despite them already being set on the devices tab) but not all, for example input booleans do not change over even when you attempt to manually fix it.

I've tried multiple different instances and this one I'm taking the screenshot of is only hours old. Also asked in Lewis's discord and a few other people have noticed it.

Describe the behavior you expected

Device icons in the entities tab should sync with the device icons set on the entity itself

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Add an entity such as a toggle helper or some other entities, I'm also seeing it with aqara products
2. Go to the entities page, you'll see the entity icon doesn't match the one you see on the device

I agree something is not right here for helper entities.

The table seems to want to find an icon in the entity registry, but it seems for helpers when you set a custom icon, that doesn't go in the entity registry, but goes in some kind of config entry (and is still an attribute as part of the state object?)

Confirm this, all icons are missing (Chrome, iOS companion) (cache cleared):

The 1st row is for a helper made in UI.
It has a default icon.
Other rows - for helpers defined in yaml with custom icons.
All icons are not displayed.

A related issue: for an input_boolean helper with a customized icon - a standard icon is shown:

Seems to be fixed in 2024.4.1
