The TP_printk() is what will be shown in the print format of the event
"format" file, and is what trace-cmd and perf use to parse the data and
know what to print. If you use "action_name[result]" that will be what
the user space tools see, and will have no idea what to do with
"action_name[result]". The hard coded output is a bit more explicit in
how to interpret the raw data.

Another way around this is to create a "plugin" that can be loaded and
will override the TP_printk() parsing.
