why set only m_reconfigure as true,  where are you setting m_reconfigureRc
to true?

no need for this change - when reconfigureRc is true, m_reconfigure will
also be true..so dont need to change these

same as above. for any reconfigure, set m_reconfigure to true,
additionally, set m_reconfigureRc to true for
Rate control reconfigure changes. no need for the above change then

Can you turn vbv off in reconfigure, if it was ON to beign with? need that
check as well
