Thank you for considering my feedback. The motivation for my comment was 
to consider how this test output will be parsed. If these tests will 
have their output parsed by automated systems then it needs to conform 
to the TAP13 format as supported by kselftest.

In your latest version the output printed during a successful test has 
been changed, using TH_LOG() as you noted. From what I can tell this is 
the only output addressed - failing tests continue to print error 
messages (perror, fprintf) without consideration of how they will be 
parsed. My apologies, I am not a kselftest expert to know what the best 
way for this integration is.
