wpa_supplicant does not have any functionality specifically for this in
station mode and I'm not sure much, if any, changes would be needed
either. In other words, this should be done for most parts in the
driver/kernel code.

Yes, the channel list updates (e.g., NL80211_CMD_REG_CHANGE and
NL80211_CMD_REG_BEACON_HINT events) can be used to update the list of
currently available channels.
