Generic field used in views doesn't display 'description'

I did this already and applied it to 3.6:

Looking at the file filefield/filefield_formatter.inc, I noticed that the $file['data'] doesn't have the variable 'description'. This is why the 'if' statement on line 138 executes and uses $file['filename'] as the link text:

  firep($file,'file');

  // Use the description as the link text if available.
  if (empty($file['data']['description'])) {
    $link_text = $file['filename'];
  }
  else {
    $link_text = $file['data']['description'];
    $options['attributes']['title'] = $file['filename'];
  }

I did a firep to inspect the array $file on 3.3 and 3.6. Notice that on 3.3 you have a 'description' variable but 3.6 doesn't.
