The "iw" package appears canonical, and BSD licensed, and uses
nl80211.h (exported from the linux kernel, also BSD licensed), and
it's 3 netlink calls to derive the channel and other info.

Regrettably I don't have time to poke into this further this month, I
have musl breakages elsewhere (like snmp) to fix. Are we at a point
where I could just file a bug somewhere?
