I believe at the time there was no one maintaining the device list to
_do_ that allocation - AMBA PL011 came along in 2005 after (I believe)
hpa stopped looking after that list.

So, please tell me how a number could be allocated properly without the
device numbers list being maintained?

I've no problem with going dynamic, and I suggest that you get a sense
of perspective rather than just spouting rubbish from on high.
