                ^^^^^
there is some some unnecessary whitespace after 'bits;'
also why did you delete the original comment?

ff_vpx_init_range_encoder function is not defined anywhere.
did you forget to commit vpx_rac.c changes?

after calling vpx_rac_flush() how does the caller determine the final size
of the output buffer?

finally, does the output of your encoder work with the existing decoder?
simple test case:

```
    VPXRangeCoder e;
    uint8_t buf[1024] = {0};
    ff_vpx_init_range_encoder(&e, buf, sizeof(buf));
    vpx_rac_put(&e, 1);
    vpx_rac_put(&e, 0);
    vpx_rac_put(&e, 1);
    vpx_rac_flush(&e);

    VPXRangeCoder d;
    ff_vpx_init_range_decoder(&d, buf, e.output_buffer - buf);
    printf("%d\n", vpx_rac_get(&d));
    printf("%d\n", vpx_rac_get(&d));
    printf("%d\n", vpx_rac_get(&d));
```
