I was thinking about grouping all same type devices (uart here) together
according to "1. Order of Nodes", but after reconsideration, I'd just follow
yours and Conor's suggestion, thus it will be more straightforward, also match
more well with datasheet[1] if we have to add more "reserved" nodes in the future.
