Fix grammar
in the hope ... will -> in the hope that ... would get -> got where are ... gone -> where have ... gone For those not -> For those who are not
Sure, I just did. Unfortunately, Grammarly and Trinka had a hard time picking up on these subtler grammar patterns. I think mixing programming terms and variables in the text also affected their accuracy.

Other than Grammarly and Trinka, we can also use Linggle or Netspeak to check if certain phrases are commonly used.
For example, we can search for the use of in the hope that.
Moreover, we can use ? or ... to find one or many words, where have ? gone
As for For those not and For those who are not, I personally think they are both correct. However, if you consider the coherence of these sentences, I would rewrite them as the following:
Original
Those familiar with shell scripts will easily be able to spot them. For those not, the obj-$(CONFIG_FOO) entries you see everywhere expand into obj-y or obj-m, depending on whether the CONFIG_FOO variable has been set to y or m.
New
Those (who are) familiar with shell scripts can easily know the answer. For those who are not, every obj-$(CONFIG_FOO) entries are expanded into obj-y or obj-m, depending on whether we set the CONFIG_FOO variable to y or m.
Because the last sentence was a question, I changed some of the wordings.
