2.0 istio operator 2.0 and 1.1 SMCP mixer related Policy test cases failed

Mixer related Policy test cases require disablePolicyChecks: false according to the istio doc
https://istio.io/v1.6/docs/tasks/policy-enforcement/enabling-policy/

However, we don't see an effect in 2.0 operator 2.0 SMCP by patching smcp with

kubectl patch smcp/basic-install --type merge -p '{"spec":{"policy":{"type": "Mixer", "mixer":{"enableChecks":true}}}}'

The SMCP patch works fine. And SMCP spec gets updated correctly. However, the config map is not getting updated.

$ kubectl -n istio-system get cm istio-basic-install -o jsonpath="

" | grep disablePolicyChecks returns true

disablePolicyChecks should return false after we patched the SMCP.
