mem.4: Correct /dev/port group in example
...
mem.4 mentions that group for /dev/port should be set to 'mem'
However, all other files (/dev/mem and /dev/kmem) use the kmem
group in their examples and on my system /dev/port belongs to
kmem. Hence the 'mem' group was probably a typo:
edb@lapelidb:~$ cat /etc/group | grep -i mem
kmem❌ 15:
edb@lapelidb:~$ ls -al /dev/port
crw-r----- 1 root kmem 1, 4 Jan 2 10:00 /dev/port

Now, the page is consistent with Documentation/devices.txt

D, H and E for the 3.5" models have been deprecated, since
the drive type is insignificant for these devices"
