Looks like someone has forgotten this completely unused MPILIB_EXTRA
thing in there.

Does this totally untested but obvious patch help?

Subject: [PATCH] crypto: Correct RSA MPI dependency

9e235dcaf4f6 ("Revert "crypto: GnuPG based MPI lib - additional sources
(part 4)") removed the MPI lib extra stuff but left RSA selecting it
while it should select CONFIG_MPILIB instead. Fix it.

This option enables support for the RSA algorithm (PKCS#1, RFC3447).
