Apologies, I just tested it, and it works (combining the 2).
Which kernel are you trying to test?
I tested your 2 commands on v6.5-rc7 and it just works.
FTR:
$> git checkout v6.5-rc7
$> make LLVM=1 ARCH=x86_64 mrproper headers
$> make LLVM=1 ARCH=x86_64 -j8 -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS=hid
-> BINARY hid_bpf
Cheers,
