If the user is sure that the reserved 0x00 - 0x02 and 0x77 - 0x7f ranges
are not needed by its devices, then the "-a" option can be passed for
allowing all theorical addresses to be used. It is then possible to
access devices in this address range.

there is no guarantee that i2c bus numbering will stay the same over
time (for example if hardware is added of removed, or simply due to
loading the drivers in a different order), passing the i2c bus by name
is more robust.
The i2c bus names are supposed to be unique. If you request a bus by
name and this name happens to not be unique, then the tools will play
it safe and quit. This is better than writing to the wrong device.
