Sure you can. I have verified that it solved the problem, despite for
the unexpected build error.

../../grub-core/commands/efi/shim_lock.c:121:21: error: implicit declaration of function ‘grub_efi_get_secureboot’; did you mean ‘grub_efi_get_device_path’? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
  121 |   if (sl == NULL || grub_efi_get_secureboot () != GRUB_EFI_SECUREBOOT_MODE_ENABLED)

FWIW, the trivial patch I use to get around above build error is
included.
