This error happens when the color log tries to read the gamut remap

information from DCN401 which is not initialized in the dcn401_dpp_funcs

which leads to a null pointer dereference. This commit addresses this

issue by adding a proper guard to access the gamut_remap callback in

case the specific ASIC did not implement this function.
