Why hart-0 and hart-5555 are allowed? I thought you have only 5
interrupts. List them instead of pattern, five is small enough still.

This goes after allOf: block

What does this mean in reality? Device does not have IO address space?
Then it is completely different programming model, isn't it?

Lowercase hex.
