According to some Oracle documents, it's good practice to run the listener from ASM_HOME instead of ORACLE_HOME. I'm wondering what .profile PATH changes are necessary to make sure that listener starts up from ASM home instead of ORACLE_HOME and not mess up database startup and shutdown?

If your listener is registered in the cluster registry correctly, which it will be if you created it with netca running from the ASM home, the Clusterware will start it from the correct home, no problem. Your .profile is not relevant to the Clusterware daemons' environment.

I actually configured listener through netca running from Oracle Home. I have separate homes for ASM and Oracle. Now I need to make the listener run from ASM_HOME instead of the ORACLE_HOME.

I would use netca running from the RDBMS home to remove the listeners you have at the moment, then connect to the ASM home and use netca to create new listeners. Check the OCR afterwards (with crs_stat -p) and you'll see that the listeners are on automatic start, with appropriate dependencies.
Alternatively, you could use srvctl or crs_unregister to remove the listeners and register new ones, but I have found that netca is the best tool to make sure that the configuration files are kept synchronized with the OCR.
