i2cset/get on Device Address Over 0x77

I'm working with a SBC running Linux. I am trying to get and set a device with an address of 0x7C but the standard limit is 0x77. I am able to run the following and the device shows up:

i2cdetect -y -a 0 0x03 0x7D

However, the "-a" and [first last] parameters are not valid for i2cget or i2cset and limit me to addresses of 0x03 to 0x77.

Is there a way to increase that limit address or override the limit like I can with i2cdetect?

If it matters this is using i2cset version 3.1.1 on GenToo

I have no deeper knowledge about this, but I have come across i2c on a Nokia N900.
Maybe searching through these results can help: https://wiki.maemo.org/Special:Search?search=i2c&go=Go

Where are you getting this standard limit? I2C addresses are 7-bit (typical, doubt this is a rare 10-bit device), and they go up to 0x7F.

More information is needed. Please explain how you've reached this conclusion.

When I try to run:

i2cget -f -y -a 0 0x7C 0x10

I get:

Error: Chip address out of range (0x03-0x77)!
Usage: i2cget [-f] [-y] I2CBUS CHIP-ADDRESS [DATA-ADDRESS [MODE]]
  I2CBUS is an integer or an I2C bus name
  ADDRESS is an integer (0x03 - 0x77)
  MODE is one of:
    b (read byte data, default)
    w (read word data)
    c (write byte/read byte)
    Append p for SMBus PEC

Also if I look at some man pages they mention this 0x03 to 0x77 pass band.

It does mention that I can use the "-a" for i2cdetect to allow using addresses between 0x00 - 0x02 and 0x78 - 0x7f. This works but doesn't apply to i2cget or i2cset where I would really like to use it.
