The above two are identical. You'll save memory by using a template instead:

DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS(gpu_cache_flush_template,
	TP_PROTO(const struct device *dev, u32 l2, u32 lsc, u32 other),
	TP_ARGS(dev, l2, lsc, other),
	TP_STRUCT__entry(
		__string(dev_name, dev_name(dev))
		__field(u32, l2)
		__field(u32, lsc)
		__field(u32, other)
	),
	TP_fast_assign(
		__assign_str(dev_name);
		__entry->l2	= l2;
		__entry->lsc	= lsc;
		__entry->other	= other;
	),
	TP_printk("%s: l2=0x%x lsc=0x%x other=0x%x", __get_str(dev_name),
		  __entry->l2, __entry->lsc, __entry->other)
);

DEFINE_EVENT(gpu_cache_flush_template, gpu_cache_flush_start,
	TP_PROTO(const struct device *dev, u32 l2, u32 lsc, u32 other),
	TP_ARGS(dev, l2, lsc, other)
);

DEFINE_EVENT(gpu_cache_flush_template, gpu_cache_flush_end,
	TP_PROTO(const struct device *dev, u32 l2, u32 lsc, u32 other),
	TP_ARGS(dev, l2, lsc, other)
);
