I'm not sure this answers your question or not, but Intel has some UEFI
disk utilities, but they're pre-EDK2 and non-BSD licensed. So you can
fdisk/format from within the UEFI Shell, for FAT volumes. Brian of Intel
says that there is work underway to revise these tools, unclear of what
(perhaps relicense these tools, make them work with current toolchain,
and perhaps transfer them from Intel to UEFI Forum) and when. See this
message:

Hmm, it looks like URL has changed:
https://firmware.intel.com/content/uefidiskutilitiesagreement
And the zip is no longer password-protected, thanks Intel lawyers!
But the contents appear to be still last-updated in 2011.
 
HTH,
