Wish we called it external_facing rather than untrusted attribute, so its
description is consistent with the spec that defines it. Once we have
Platform Component Security Enhancements.

to be correct, maybe call "Device located on an untrusted link" rather than
assert blame on the device.

Since the information is harvsted from BIOS tables and there are chances
this could be wrongly grouped such, add "Check with your BIOS/Platform
Vendor.
