<br />
This error happens when the color log tries to read the gamut remap<br />
information from DCN401 which is not initialized in the dcn401_dpp_funcs<br />
which leads to a null pointer dereference. This commit addresses this<br />
issue by adding a proper guard to access the gamut_remap callback in<br />
case the specific ASIC did not implement this function.
