Please note, the phosphor-misc:usb-ctrl have a way to specify mode usb|usb-ro|hdd|dvd which is useful
to pick between both usb or cd-rom devices. Please, refer to the changes [1].

The implementation of usb-gadget:mass-storage has a many limitations about cd-rom: 
 * Image size should not be significant then 2.1Gb,
 * Supports only CD-ROM profile
That does following to failure of installing Windows-like OS, because without a number of DVD-ROM 
profile's features and correct SCSI-command handling(TOC/ATIP/PMA) a Windows OS can't load appropriate 
UDF-driver(iso-13346) and will stucks.

Summary the mentioned in the current subject patchset should solve the described issue.
