You are still missing a 'const'.
You probably want:
  static const char *const bnx2x_tests_str_arr[] ...

However if you are going to pad the strings to [28]
you might as well remove the layer of indirection - ie:
  static const char bnx2x_tests_str_arr[BNX2X_NUM_TESTS_SF][28] = { ...
}
Or pad to 32 chars to (probably) remove some code bytes.
