It seems that you insist on set_params to be removed and both key and
params to be passed into set_{pub,priv}_key. This means reworking all
existing RSA drivers and callers, right? Can you please confirm that
huge rework to avoid misunderstanding?
I think to pass SubjectPublicKeyInfo into set_*_key would be overkill,
because TPM drivers may not have it and we would need BER encoder just
for that.
So, probably, something simple like length, key data, length, params data
will be enough?
Thanks,
