I don't think you can change Linux interface name. I believe this is how
Linux handles VLANs.

That "vlan20" visible in your config is a hint for OpenWrt logical
interface name. So you should have ubus object:
network.interface.vlan20
in your case.

You can use (object) name when managing interface, e.g.:
ubus call network.interface.vlan20 status

That name is also what you'll see in LuCI if you happen to use it.
