It will prevent the module "yealink" from ever being loaded.

The "install" directive tells modprobe what to do instead of loading the 
module. It can for example be used if certain commands need to be run before 
a module is loaded, in which case the line would contain those commands, and 
end with another call to modprobe

In this case it will only run the command /bin/true, which does nothing and 
returns successfully
