Do we need the storage root public key for anything? The mbedtls RSA wrapper would need to be improved to use it correctly.

Research direction

Start with the tpm takeown behavior described in the issue and determine whether callers need the storage root public key. Then inspect the mbedtls RSA wrapper to understand what would be required to use that key correctly; the work is complete when the intended SRK output and wrapper behavior are clearly defined and implemented.
