In /Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-iio-proximity-as3935 there is also a
gain used in a similar situation and it's called there "sensor_sensitivity"

What it we also use this name here?

By changing the range one cannot influence the sampling frequency directly. I
have seen on the oszilloscope that the telegrams arrive almost at the same time
with different settings of range and the same gain.

Only if the gain is also adjusted the sensor works faster and a higher frequency
can be used. But the gain is also used to adjust the sensitivity of the sensor. 

What about calling it "sensor_domain" or "sensor_max_range"?

You are right. 
Then i'll set the default value at the sensor, because it cannot be read.
