Please fix the indentation in a lot of places, e.g. the backupkey.idl

And remove unused stuff.

Why do we need bkrp_BackupKey_debug? If we really need that it should
have the 'noopnum'
property.

Please create a separate commit that removes the old
protected_storage.idl and related stuff.

I think we also don't need the ndr_backupkey_print.[ch] files they can
be merged into ndr_backupkey.[ch]

What is BIGNUM ? the '*' of pointers should be next to the variable and
not the type (in a lot of places)

The '{' of functions should be in a new line.

char *addr = "unknown"; should be 'const char *addr = "unknown"'

You don't need sub_ctx and explicit talloc_free/unlink calls, mem_ctx
is already the temporary memory context, which is cleaned up after the call.

And please go through each single line and fix the identation and coding
style,
it's really not that hard...
