This patchset puts device initialization in the correct order and adds support for G200 Desktop chips (PCI ids 0x520 and 0x521).
why? :-)
With G200 support in place, we can add also support for the newer cards in the G-Series up to the G550. Believe it or not, the G550 for PCIe is still being actively marketed and manufactured by Matrox. [1] Even the predecessor chips G450 was only EOLed in Oct 2016.

I'm pretty sure I NAKed the previous version because the userspace experience for these old cards was probably better with xorg-x11-drv-mga, but hey maybe it isn't anymore and we should go ahead. I know SuSE use these for testing, but apart from that do we really think we have any users for this?
Well, I got at least one email from someone thanking me for this patch. :)
