No, as it says in sys.h: "Define LWIP_COMPAT_MUTEX if the port has no mutexes
and binary semaphores should be used instead". The only disadvantage of using
binary semaphores (in this case, the sys_mutex_* functions are defined to their
sys_sem_* substitute) is that you can get priority inversion (mutextes are only
used for communication between API tasks using netconn or sockets and the
tcpip_thread).
