So I have been trying to follow this naming scheme for initilisation:

_create() - called during device probe time
_start() - if up / power up
_stop() - if down / power down
_destroy() - called when device is removed

If you call ce_init() both in create() and start() time there has to be
some redundant code and I think the function should be split. This isn't
a concern now, but something for the future.
