This PR
We are only doing single byte reads from the UART FIFO. By calling am_hal_uart_transfer multiple times it increases the ISR time.
Original timing:

Timing after this PR:
You can see the ISR becomes shorter and more repetitive.
FWIW - With burst mode turned on, ISR drops even more to 8.5us so 921600bps may be possible.
For reference:
This PR attempts to strike a balance between RAM footprint (what's and extra 15k between friends?) and increase serial performance.
