I would then rather do:

+	TP_printk("dev_name: %s dma_mask=%llx dev_addr=%llx "
+		"size=%zu swiotlb_force=",
+               __entry->swiotlb_force ? " yes" : "no",
+		__get_str(dev_name),

Or do you mean?:

+	TP_printk("dev_name: %s dma_mask=%llx dev_addr=%llx "
+		"size=%zu",
+               __entry->swiotlb_force ? " swiotlb_force" : "",
+		__get_str(dev_name),

This one doesn't tell you explicitly if swiotlb_force is NOT set, maybe 
that's not so good? And adds a bit of complexity to your grep regexp?
Either way is fine with me, but I think "swiotlb_force=0|1" is also 
pretty straightforward to understand, and I guess it makes printk 
slightly faster (I assume the conditional operator gives a little bit of 
overhead)
