 *
 * FUNCTION:    AcpiExStoreObjectToNode
 *
 * PARAMETERS:  SourceDesc              - Value to be stored
 *              Node                    - Named object to receive the value
 *              WalkState               - Current walk state
 *              ImplicitConversion      - Perform implicit conversion (yes/no)
 *
 * RETURN:      Status
 *
 * DESCRIPTION: Store the object to the named object.
 *
 *              The Assignment of an object to a named object is handled here
 *              The value passed in will replace the current value (if any)
 *              with the input value.
 *
 *              When storing into an object the data is converted to the
 *              target object type then stored in the object.  This means
 *              that the target object type (for an initialized target) will
 *              not be changed by a store operation.
 *
 *              Assumes parameters are already validated.
