Avocado is a set of tools and libraries to help with automated testing. One can call it a test framework with benefits. Native tests are written in Python and they follow the unittest pattern, but any executable can serve as a test.

In avocado/utils/linux_modules.py, the loaded_module_info function will print out the result of commands lsmod and modinfo. When I call unload_module function with loaded_module_info function in it, it causes this output to be printed into out debug log:

Actually the above output in our logs is unnecessary. It also makes our debug log too long and cannot effectively debug failures.
Describe the solution you'd like
I suggest we can update the output in loaded_module_info function to not print the output. But I'm not sure if this output need to be used in other component tests, so I raised this issue here for further discussion.
