Worse case, if only bit 31 was set then I agree this is not that
efficient. Or even if one bit is set. However, the loop itself will
iterate while isr != 0 so not always over each bit. No different to the
existing code.

Definitely cleaner but I am wondering which approach would be more
efficient from an instruction standpoint. This could definitely be much
more efficient if there is only a couple bits set.

No problem. Thanks for the inputs.
