If you want to keep the helper generic what you can do is have
it take struct rsa_key instead of struct crypto_ablkcipher.

It definitely should just be an optional helper as opposed to
a required part of crypto_akcipher since you could have a piece
of hardware that takes the encoded key directly in which case
you wouldn't need the helper at all.
