I found the thread on the linux-fai mailing list and also the code
that added efi support into setup-storage. In the end we remove the
code from FAI, since it was not needed any more.

It's much easier to get a partition of type ESP. Just create a disk
gpt disk label, a partition of type vfat that is mounted to /boot/efi
and set the boot flag on this partition using the bootable:1 keywork
in the disk_config line. This will result in a partition type of
esp. This is the normal parted behaviour. It should look like this:

disk_config disk1 disklabel:gpt fstabkey:uuid bootable:1
primary   /boot/efi  200     vfat    rw
primary   /          1G-     ext4    rw


We should document this, but IMO there's no need for a patch in
setup-storage.
