Well, one way or another, make the changelog consistent with the
function names.

To me though, start/stop has more meaning.  They are called from
sr_[start|stop]_vddautocomp, so using start/stop is consistent there.
Also, init is usually something done once (and doesn't have a de-init
counterpart) but here we're talking about something done for each 
sr_[start|stop]_vddautocomp()
