**Describe the bug**
Hi,
I want to train a Mandarin ASR model using `conformer_ctc_char.yaml` , meanwhile, I use `speech_to_text_ctc.py`.
When I run `python speech_to_text_ctc.py`, the following bugs are appearance.
```
[NeMo I 2022-11-10 12:57:03 features:200] PADDING: 0
Error executing job with overrides: []
Error in call to target 'nemo.collections.asr.modules.conformer_encoder.ConformerEncoder':
TypeError("__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'causal_downsampling'")

Error executing job with overrides: []
Error in call to target 'nemo.collections.asr.modules.conformer_encoder.ConformerEncoder':
TypeError("__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'conv_context_size'")
```
According to the bugs, I comment out the three arguments in the cfg.model.encoder, then it runs without any error.
Even though it works well now, I still worry about some impacts of commenting out the arguments.
Please, are there some steps I should adjust?


**Steps/Code to reproduce bug**

`python speech_to_text_ctc.py`

**conformer_ctc_char.yaml**
```
# It contains the default values for training a Conformer-CTC ASR model, large size (~120M) with CTC loss and char-based vocabulary.
# Char-based encoding may give lower accuracy than sub-word encoding (conformer_ctc_bpe.yaml).

# You may find more detail on Conformer-CTC at `examples/asr/conf/conformer/conformer_ctc_bpe.yaml`
