It doesn't seem to have any official name. GPL sources contain tool named simply "make_flash" and Makefile target "FlashMaker". This partitions table format was first found in devices with a custom SafeLoader bootloader so it was called SafeLoader by a community. Later it was ported to other bootloaders but it seems the same sticked. Add binding for describing flashes with SafeLoader partitions table. It allows operating systems to parse it properly and register proper flash layout.
