Ok, got

so I would move "plic, clint" after node of uart9 as this suggestion

for uart1, its unit-address is 0xf0610000, it should be moved to after clint
(once unit-address sorted), if we follow this rule strictly.
but it occur to me this is not very intuitive, if no objection, I would put
it between uart0 and uart2 (thus slightly break the rule..)

P.S: I can cook a separated patch for adding uart1 node, should better for review
