sure.....this is possible.
The question is whether you want to put auto-generated files into git?
If you decide to do so commits can become quite big.

For example, if a developer improves the arm support and adds a new
file, he has to regenerate these auto-generated files. If he has a
different version of the tools or uses a different distribution there
usually are big differences in most of these generated files. Which
leads obviously to a quite big patch.

\o/
Can I add a Tested-by: to the patch stack?

Thanks for testing...
