Yes, it is valid.  Please see how other targets do this.  For example,
powerpc-linux-gas produces

Relocation section '.rela.text' at offset 0x200 contains 1 entries:
 Offset     Info    Type            Sym.Value  Sym. Name + Addend
00000002  00000403 R_PPC_ADDR16      00000000   ___DTOR_LIST + fffffffb
