### Description

When dual-booting macOS and CachyOS, if you pair an Apple wireless keyboard (A1255/A1314) or Magic Mouse with macOS, both devices are recognized up to the boot manager. However, when you try to pair them after booting into CachyOS, they are either not recognized, recognized but unable to pair, or the connection is lost.
If they are recognized and paired in CachyOS, they cannot be recognized or paired in macOS.

### Steps to Reproduce

1.I'm setting up a dual-boot iMac 2011mid with macOS, installing rEFInd on sda3 and the CachyOS main system on sda4.
2.First, ensure that macOS recognizes and pairs the wireless keyboard and Magic Mouse.
3.Restart the computer and boot into CachyOS, then check if the same keyboard/mouse is recognized or can be paired. (It doesn't work.)

### Expected Behavior

The device should be recognized and paired with each operating system and be usable from startup.

### Actual Behavior

It appears that keyboard and mouse information is stored in the PRAM, and this may be causing some kind of problem. Alternatively, CachyOS may not be handling it correctly.

### Additional Context

Currently, this issue has only been confirmed with the A1311 model, but it may also occur with the A1312 (27-inch type) from the same period. Furthermore, it may also occur with later iMacs with similar hardware configurations.
This issue also occurs with the MacBook Air 2011 mid-model from the same period.
