Description

@johan12345

Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

pd.Series(np.random.random(1000)).plot(logy=True)
pd.Series(np.random.random(1000)).plot(secondary_y=True, logy=True)
plt.show()

Problem description

When I plot some data and set both the secondary_y and logy parameters to True, the logy parameter is not respected. Instead, the secondary y axis still uses linear scaling.

Expected Output

The secondary y axis should use logarithmic scaling.
