We don't realistically have the clock cycles to do that on a low end
embedded processor handling high speed I/O. The best you can do is
trigger a workqueue to switch the buffer data around and call the helper
while the uart may be receiving more bytes.

What you are asking for you'd get out of the first parts of tidying up
the receive paths because you'd set a different port->rx() method and get
bursts of characters, flags and length data.
