commit 114b42507b6a23d9d24e24e4ef165233332c64d4 upstream.

The same as the rest of the code, get_ss_info_from_atombios() uses
calc_pll_cs->ctx->logger for logging. But calc_pll_cs->ctx is
initialized only later in calc_pll_max_vco_construct(). Therefore, any
output using DC_LOG_SYNC() leads to a NULL pointer deference in
get_ss_info_from_atombios().

According to Sashiko, the very same problem exists in
dce112_get_pix_clk_dividers() and dcn3_get_pix_clk_dividers() too.

To avoid accessing the NULL context, use clk_src->base.ctx->logger
everywhere. That context in base is initialized earlier in
dce110_clk_src_construct() and dce112_clk_src_construct(). Before
get_ss_info_from_atombios() or Sashiko's get_pix_clk_dividers functions
above are actually called. This is done by redefining DC_LOGGER to
CTX->logger.

Before:
dce110_clk_src_construct() did:
 -> sets clk_src->base.ctx = ctx;
 -> ss_info_from_atombios_create()
   -> get_ss_info_from_atombios()   <- uses calc_pll_cs->ctx  # BOOM
 -> calc_pll_max_vco_construct()    <- sets calc_pll_cs->ctx

After:
dce110_clk_src_construct() does:
 -> sets clk_src->base.ctx = ctx;
 -> ss_info_from_atombios_create()
   -> get_ss_info_from_atombios()   <- uses clk_src->base.ctx
