If you do not need to store the SessID over wpa_supplicant restarts, you
can maintain this within the EAP peer method (see deinit_for_reauth() and
init_for_reauth() callbacks).

Or are you referring to using EAP-Identity method instead of EAP
messages specific to this new EAP method? If so, use the get_identity()
callback.
