The interrupt is indeed level, active low. Where can I find information 
on UIC
interrupt settings for device tree ? I'm using dtc 1.2.0, 20 is decimal. 
Is it ok ?

I've checked that, here's the relevant line from u-boot:
{GPIO1_BASE, GPIO_IN , GPIO_ALT3, GPIO_OUT_0}, /* GPIO45 CS(5)          
EOT/TC1         IRQ(12)*/

If I understand this code correctly, u-boot configures this line as ALT3 
(which is external IRQ 12)

Thanks.
