p2p_listen_channel is not relevant to operating channel selection and
p2p_oper_channel configuration parameters should not be used in any
production use. The correct way of selecting the operating channel for
P2P is either by not specifying anything and allowing wpa_supplicant to
pick a suitable channel or by specifying the channel in the P2P command
(like P2P_GROUP_ADD).

I'm not sure what exactly you are referring to here. A random listen
channel is selected by design and as noted above, this is not an
operating channel.. As far as operating channel selection is concerned,
wpa_supplicant uses information about the concurrent operations and
tries to use a channel that is already in use as the operating channel
for a new P2P group.
